TechCrunch reports that tensions between Russia and the U.S. over Crimea, a peninsula on the northern coast of the Black Sea, are affecting tech developers. They report that Apple is sending out notices of termination to people whose accounts are registered in Crimea, citing sanctions that the U.S. has ordered against the region as a response to Russia annexing it in 2014. It prevents developers from creating or publishing apps in Apple's AppStore.
